We went w/o electric power for four days, 14 hours, and 20 minutes and cable
TV/internet for another 48 hours, but who's counting?  No property damage,
just loss of weight from moving tree debris from yards to street and not
having any way to cool off.  No trees down on our property, but Charlie sure
cleaned out the dead/loose stuff in the trees.

By noon on the 14th the next door neighbor brought me the female end of a
heavy duty 110v extension cord and instructed me to plug in our
refrigerator.  Ten minutes later he brought me another extension cord for
the refrigerator in the garage.  We had generator power for that purpose 2
hrs on / 2 hrs off until the power came back on.  I drew generator /
refrigeration duty for both houses Mon through Wednesday while the neighbor
was at work.  We had city water the full time so we just played the survivor
game like on TV - except we did not eat any bugs (that we know of.)

Got the tower cranked up and inverted vees back up Thursday afternoon.  All
is well here. Will fill in details later.

Life is good with A/C and the internet.
